5 mistakes in season 3 - chronological order

The Killing Jar - S3-E6

Plot hole: When the Quintesson scientist is tricking Cyclonus into going inside his ship he disguises it as a character named Broadside who then says that he has come to take Cyclonus to see Galvatron. The problem is, Broadside is an Autobot yet Cyclonus simply walks inside without any reaction. Most likely the writers intended it to be Astrotrain but wrote the wrong name down.

Nightmare Planet - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: When the Quintessons have Daniel he appears to be strapped to an examining table but the strap changes in between shots. Sometimes it is on his chest but it later moves down to his stomach area and up to his chest again. Another scene shows his legs being strapped down as well but the strap seems to disappear.

Suggested correction: They only show Daniel strapped in once, and that's when he sits up & breaks them. All the other scenes they just show his face up close and you can't actually see that he's strapped down.

Rodimus Prime: Last big party of the summer, folks! Let's go out with a bang.
Ultra Magnus: Just once, couldn't your attitude reflect the gravity of the situation?
Rodimus Prime: Not if I can help it.

Question: When and how did the Great War end? I know the original Transformers ended its US run after the 3-part Headmasters, but Generation 1 continued on in Japan in Super God Masterforce, Victory, Zone, Return of Convoy, and Operation: Combination. Which cartoon ending is considered "official," the US one which finished its run in the 80's with Headmasters or the Japanese one that ended in 1992 with Operation: Combination?

Answer: It is whichever ending you want. There is no 'real' set or canon ending to the war. The only semi-resolution is Beast Wars occasionally hints at the Autobots winning (before the Maximal upgrade). However, Beast Wars is a combination of the US cartoon and the US comic, and excludes most of the Japanese continuity. So it is really up to you as to what you want to believe. Most people seem to 'accept' the US universe, ending with Beast Machines.
